all very interesting. you made me realize i have a more complex relationship with letters than i would have thought before reading this. hmm...

i think my list would be more like zombie's -- probably about 7 letters for which i am passionate. beyond that, they're all space fillers!

also, those which i do prefer have more likely earned their spots for the egocentric reason of appearance in my name, and random relationships of that nature.

that said, off the top of my head:

p
c
g
r
t
s
m

one a somewhat related note, in the last couple of weeks, i've taken to leaving out the i in chris when i "sign" an e-mail. it seems like such a waste.

madartista said:

Interestingly enough, my affinity for letters has nothing to do with my name. I haven't deciphered whether I like certain words because of the letters in them, or if I like the letters because of the words they're in.

I'm sorry.....you're too nerdy to stay in Australia.

madartista said:

I've been to LAX airport and driven through I-80 to San Fran. I've met some cool people there and have found many places quite beautiful, but there is a general attitude there that turns me off a bit. Plus, I absolutely abhor the Lakers.

Moonbeam said:

fair enough. we do realize our superiority, so it comes off a bit unpleasant. but if you hang out for a minute, you realize it's just a game face, and we're all in on the joke. we're that arrogant ass you meet at a party who after a few beers you see he's really a good guy.

Look what you've started!

omg.

LOVE it.



It makes me miss you guys.

I enjoyed reading this thread.
